Tehran, Iran, Dec. 14 – Iran’s hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Wednesday the Holocaust is a “myth” that Europeans have used to create a Jewish state in the heart of the Islamic world, and called for Jews to be moved from the Middle East to Europe, the United States, Canada, or Alaska.

Speaking at a gathering in the southern Iranian town of Zahedan (Sistan va Baluchestan Province), Ahmadinejad said, “Today, they have created a myth in the name of Holocaust and consider it to be above God, religion and the prophets”.

“The Europeans say that during the Second World War six million Jews were killed, and they are determined in their claims to the point that even when scientists question them they deal with such scientists and jail and punish them”, he added.

“If you committed this great crime then why must the innocent people of Palestine pay for this mistake and crime?” Ahmadinejad said, in comments directed at the European Union. He said that Israel had occupied lands in the “heart of Islam”, according to the state-run ISNA news agency.

“You who have committed this crime must give parts of your soil in Europe, America, Canada, and Alaska to these people so that they can create their own country”, the hard-line President said, adding that Iran would support such an action.

“In those countries if someone denies the existence of God or the prophets nothing will be done to him, but if someone brings under question the issue of killing of the Jews they will punish him”, he said, adding that such people were not fit to live in civilised society.
